Perth Wildcats uniform
The Perth Wildcats have unveiled their new playing uniforms for the upcoming National Basketball League (NBL) season, enhancing their rebranding efforts as they prepare for their first game. The updated design features a new font and a prominent white club name displayed across the middle of the jersey, marking a departure from previous styles. The home uniform will continue to be red, while a sleek black version will be used for away games.
The rebranding initiative, announced by club owner Mark Arena earlier this year, includes a refreshed logo and design elements inspired by the club’s identity. The new jerseys incorporate furry lines that echo the updated branding.
Upcoming Matches and Key Changes
The Wildcats are set to kick off their campaign on September 20 with a highly anticipated match against the Tasmania JackJumpers at RAC Arena. Before that, the team will hold an intraclub match on September 15 at the Morley Sport and Recreation Centre, which will also feature their Academy team in action.
In addition to their intraclub game, the Wildcats will participate in an international series later in the month. They will host Japan’s Ryukyu Golden Kings and Sunrockers Shibuya for pre-season games, along with the South East Melbourne Phoenix, at the Perth High Performance Centre. These matches follow the NBL Blitz taking place in Canberra, providing a platform for showcasing the team’s preparations.
The Wildcats are currently navigating a roster transition as they look to fill the void left by superstar Bryce Cotton, who recently signed with the Adelaide 36ers. Cotton has returned to Australia this week to begin training with his new team, leaving fans eager to see how the Wildcats will adapt.
Roster Updates and Fan Expectations
The club has made significant roster moves in recent weeks, securing commitments from Jo Lual-Acuil Jr and Ben Henshall. Veteran players Kristian Doolittle and Dylan Windler will return, while Sunday Dech and Lat Mayen have joined the team from Adelaide. There remains one open spot on the roster, and fans are eagerly awaiting news on the potential signing of an import player.
As the Wildcats gear up for the new season, anticipation builds around how the team will perform under the new branding and with a revamped lineup. With the season just around the corner, the focus is on creating a successful campaign that honors the club’s legacy while embracing a fresh identity.
